Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our
Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon
what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then
relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual
relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best
foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this
knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral
attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious
guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive,
moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages
have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human
sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.

"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

If sexual ethics is to be engaged in a search
for truth rather than just accepting what previous generations have handed
down, then it must take into account not just modern understandings of science
but also knowledge of human bodies, psychology and the emotional and affective
side of human being. (Peter Vardy, The Puzzle of Sex, 1997)

American Board of Sexology: Certified Sexologists

In 1986 a group of clinical sexologists believed that there was a better
way to provide quality assurance to the public and to the discipline, by
selecting qualified sex therapists, sex counselors, sex educators and recognizing
authentic sex researchers.
Those meeting the stringent academic requirements are awarded the designation
of Board Certified Diplomates of the American Board of Sexology.

Definition of Sexology

Sexology is the systematic study of human sexuality. It encompasses all
aspects of sexuality (except involuntary celibacy), including attempting
to characterise 'normal sexuality' and its variants, including paraphilias.
Sexology is considered descriptive, not prescriptive: it attempts to document
reality, not to prescribe what behavior is suitable, ethical, or moral.

William Masters & Virginia Johnson: Sexologists

Masters
and Johnson were sexology pioneers (and a husband / wife team). Their research
was revolutionary in understanding the nature of human sexual response.

From the website: 'Their research program, considered a shocking innovation,
included the physiological study of women as they reached for and attained
orgasm. The laboratory contained a bed, monitoring equipment like electrocardiograph
machines, cameras, and an artificial coition machine. The machine featured
a transparent, hollow, penis-shaped probe run by a motor, fitted with a
movie camera. The camera recorded changes in the vagina and was useful in
studying the effects of contraceptives.'

Arousal in Women, Viagra & Erotica: 'All in the Mind'

Scientists have concluded that women achieve most sexual satisfaction through
the stimulation of their brain and not any other organ. After eight years
of tests involving 3,000 women, Pfizer, the company behind Viagra,
the little blue pill that has transformed men's sex lives, has abandoned
efforts to prove that the drug works for females too.
Studies found that even though Viagra induced a greater pelvic blood flow
in women. they did not feel substantially more aroused.

Orgasms & Sexual Arousal in Women: A Study of Cardiovascular and Endocrine
Alterations

This study investigated the cardiovascular, genital, and endocrine changes
in women after masturbation induced orgasm.
Sexual arousal and orgasm produce a distinct pattern of neuroendocrine alterations
in women, primarily inducing a long-lasting elevation in plasma prolactin
concentrations. These results concur with those observed in men.

I Feel Myself: Erotic Orgasm Videos

From
the website: 'Why create a site with ordinary people sharing their orgasms
in varying stages of undress? For one - watching someone orgasm is an intensely
erotic experience. ... But we do have some altruistic intent. Orgasm is
no mean feat, for some it is not experienced to it's fullest, and for others,
not at all. The importance of unrepressive positive sexual attitudes can
not be underestimated in creating a happy, healthy, orgasmic society.'

Signs of Human Sexual Arousal

Unlike many other animals, humans do not have a mating season and can become
sexually aroused at any time. What are the signs of human sexual arousal?

In both men and women: Increase in breathing rate, blood
pressure, muscle tone, heart rate, flushing of the skin, slight or extreme
dilation of the pupils, erection of the nipples and the release of pheromones.

Erotology: Arousal, Mind & Body, Culture, Erotic Art

Erotology is the study of erotic expression, that is, any form of representation
which seeks to sexually arouse its audience. This includes not only the
actual physical act of procreation, but the attitudes toward it, social
and cultural controls, art and literature, psychology and physiology (i.e.
mind and body).
This site is dedicated to the scholarly exploration and discussion of the
field of erotology. It is designed to stimulate discourse and collaboration
toward a deeper understanding of the human condition. Registration is free.

The Science behind Pornography & Addiction

From the essay: 'The notions of 'sexual addiction' generally, including
'pornography addiction' as well as the recent concern with 'online cyber
sex addiction' are highly questionable to most scientists.
So-called sex addiction may be nothing more than learned behavior that can
be unlearned; labels such as 'sex addict' may tell us more about society’s
prejudices than the client; scientists who have undertaken studies of exposure
to sex materials report that despite high levels of exposure to pornography,
few negative effects are observed.'

Online Pornography, CyberSex and Addictive Behaviour

'Researchers writing in The Journal of Sex Addiction and Compulsivity
report that many of the men and women who now spend dozens of hours each
week seeking stimulation from their computers deny that they have a problem
and refuse to seek help until their marriages, their jobs, or both, are
in jeopardy.'

To those who say a behavioral compulsion is not a true addiction, Dr.
Jennifer Schneider responded with a definition of addiction that would clearly
apply to cyber sex abusers: ‘Loss of control, continuation of the
behavior despite adverse consequences and preoccupation or obsession with
obtaining the drug or pursuing the behavior.’

Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)

The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific
conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is
in all spheres of cultural life. ... Only the individual can think, and
thereby create new values for society, nay, even set up new moral standards
to which the life of the community conforms.
(Albert Einstein)
